[The shrine that governs time⛩️] A pilgrimage to the sacred land of history and karuta at Omi Shrine✨

#AbsolutelyFreeTrip "Omi Jingu" in Otsu City is a prestigious shrine that enshrines Emperor Tenchi. It is also known as the "God of Time" because it was the first water clock in Japan, "Rokukoku" (water clock) 🕰️ The grounds are spacious, and the nature changes with the seasons, and the quiet air gives you a sense of peace of mind 🌿 It is also famous as a sacred place for Hyakunin Isshu, and is the place where the "Karuta Master Tournament" is held every year 📖 The key points of the trip are the "free history exhibition room" and "Hyakunin Isshu monument tour."

The vermilion-painted shrine building is also perfect for photos 📸✨ [Access] About a 10-minute walk from Keihan Electric Railway's "Omi Jingu-mae Station."
